Offices in the vicinity of the 'targeted' location inside the Texas Capitol were evacuated by the Texas Department of Public Safety due to the suspicious package received.


The package was made up of several boxes, upon further discovery it was determined it contained note cards inside, but frightened the two staffers who were present in the office at the time being.


Nevarez was at his hometown Eagle Pass, while the incident occurred.


"I couldn't tell you if it is a bomb or not. All I know is it was just something that was odd," Nevarez said in an interview. "I understand they got everybody out of there. ... Everyone's good. Everyone's far from danger."


It has been discarded that the package contained any bomb or explosives, however, it did created a tense scene at the Capitol.
